Details:
Brian Thomas is a folk singer-songwriter and Christian worship leader from British Columbia, Canada. His musical influences are diverse, which has given him a unique sound that is hard to categorize, yet appeals to people with very different tastes in music. Brian blends together finger-style guitar, Celtic and classical instruments, peaceful melodies, baroque counterpoint, and passionate vocals, to create a refreshingly original sound.

Across cultures and generations, music has been a vehicle for storytelling, and Brian's songs have sought to re-capture that tradition. His debut release, Storybook, is a personal, expression of the deep emotions he experienced as he traveled the difficult road of losing a loved one. An intensely vulnerable and starkly human CD about love, the pain of loss, and moving on, Storybook has reduced many of its listeners to tears. Brian says, "I was pouring my heart out. When I was writing the songs and recording them, I was experiencing everything that I was singing about. Somehow people's hearts can hear those emotions when they listen to the music." Reviews of Storybook have been overwhelmingly positive. Cam Bastedo of https://www.tradebit.com wrote this regarding one of Storybook's songs, The Forsaken Merman: "Without meaning to be fulsome I have simply never encountered a more beautiful folk song. The song is tasteful, textured and even heart-rending. ... You will seldom spend time more prudently, than in giving this beautiful piece an audience. The more often I listen, the more enchanted I become." Other fans have said, "The songs are so amazingly beautiful," "Enchanting... incredible artistry and sheer beauty," and "Incredibly inspiring, so unique, it's amazing."

Dancing in the Desert, Brian's latest release, chronicles a different side of his journey. "I wrote Storybook for a woman I loved and lost. I wrote Dancing in the Desert for God, who helped me get through the loss." Dancing in the Desert is a collection of Brian's Praise and Worship songs, many of which were written at the same time as the songs of Storybook. While still preserving Brian's signature Celtic-folk sound, Dancing in the Desert is the joyful, energetic sibling to his debut.
